Hello Roman, HDFS-1943 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1943> is a resolved bug which was opened only against 0.22 and 0.23. No one in the community (including you) saw fit to raise it as a concern for 0.20-security, despite multiple public invitations to propose jiras for inclusion in 0.20.205. Testing a release candidate is a community effort, and out of all the people in the community who tested the RC, no one found or raised this as an issue.
Nevertheless, I would be happy to include the fix in the next release. If you would like it to be included, please re-open the jira for a backport, and preferably submit a tested patch. And yes, I am considering a 0.20.205.1 bug fix release, so if a tested patch is submitted in the near future, it can go in. Regarding the second issue, "unfortunate placement of the task-controller binary", again please open a jira and submit a tested patch. I'll be happy to include it in the next release. Thank you for raising these issues. I hope in the future the Bigtop team will consider testing the next Hadoop release candidate before the vote closes instead of after.
